Anlin Windows in the Bay Area

Anlin builds every window to order in California, which is why we install them and very little else. If you have already narrowed your choice to Anlin, this page covers the three series we fit most often in Bay Area homes, the glass packages worth paying for, and what the lifetime warranty actually covers.

Premium Window Products We Install

We partner exclusively with Anlin — America's only 5-star consumer-rated window manufacturer — because their products meet the quality, energy performance, and customization standards our Bay Area clients expect. All Anlin products are made in California, backed by a lifetime warranty, and engineered for the West Coast climate. Below are the three series we install most frequently in Bay Area homes.

Anlin Catalina Series

The Beauty of Symmetry

Our most-requested window for Bay Area homes. Symmetrically engineered with even sightlines for a balanced, architecturally refined look. Ideal for whole-home replacements in Danville, Lafayette, and Pleasanton where visual consistency matters. Available in single slider, single hung, picture, and geometric configurations.

Anlin Panoramic Series

Maximum View, Narrow Frame

Engineered for homeowners who want maximum glass and minimal frame. The narrow profile delivers unobstructed views of hills, golf courses, and bay vistas — perfect for homes in Los Gatos, Orinda, and Blackhawk where the view is the centerpiece. Built for energy efficiency without compromising natural light.

Anlin Coronado Series

Ventilation Flexibility

When airflow is a priority, the Coronado series offers double hung, double slider, casement, and awning styles. Also includes bay, bow, and garden windows. We frequently pair Coronado with Catalina or Panoramic to optimize each room's function while maintaining a cohesive look across the home.

Glass Packages & Performance Options

During your consultation, we'll walk you through the glass options that best match your home's orientation, your comfort priorities, and your energy goals. Whether you need maximum UV protection for a sun-filled great room, noise reduction for a street-facing primary suite, or heat retention for an elevated property, we have the right glass package.

Infinit-E Standard Glass

Included on every window. Excellent solar protection and maximum visible light — ideal for the Bay Area's year-round temperate climate.

SunMatrix Low-E Upgrade

4-layer coating blocks 99% of UV rays to protect fine furnishings, artwork, and hardwood floors from fading. Recommended for south- and west-facing exposures.

QuadraTherm Heat Retention

Multi-layer insulation keeps warmth inside during cool Bay Area evenings. Ideal for homes in higher-elevation areas like Orinda, Moraga, and Los Gatos.

Anlin Sound Package

Reduces outside noise by up to 50%. Essential for homes near busy corridors, freeway-adjacent properties, or flight paths.

SunShield Tinted Glass

Blue/gray exterior tint for maximum solar protection on sun-drenched exposures without darkening interior light.

PLUS Easy Clean Coating

Exterior coating breaks down dirt and pollutants, significantly reducing the frequency of professional window cleaning — a practical upgrade for larger homes and second-story windows.

Available Upgrades

Security, Safety & Sound Upgrades

For homeowners who want the ultimate in comfort, security, and peace of mind, we offer three premium glass upgrade packages. Each addresses a specific concern and can be specified on any window in your home — from the primary suite to the living room.

SR50 Sound Reduction Glass

Reduces outside noise by up to 50% compared to standard dual pane glass. We recommend this for homes near busy roads, school zones, or in neighborhoods where privacy and tranquility are a priority.

First Guard Laminated Security Glass

Meets ASTM F1233 forced-entry standards. Laminated construction holds shattered glass in place, providing added break-in protection — a popular upgrade for homes where security and peace of mind are a priority.

4X Tempered Safety Glass

Four times stronger than standard glass. Breaks into a safe, crystalline pattern rather than sharp shards. Meets ANSI Z97.1-2015 and CPSC safety codes. Recommended for large panes, bathrooms, and homes with children.

Materials & Customization Options

Your windows should match your home's architecture down to the smallest detail. During your consultation, we'll bring physical samples of frame colors, hardware finishes, glass textures, and grid patterns so you can see and feel every option before deciding. Here's the range of customization available:

Vinyl frames in White, Adobe, Tan, Bronze, Satin Black, and Clay to match or complement your home's exterior
Hardware finishes in White, Adobe, Tan, Bronze, Satin Black, Brushed Nickel, and Polished Brass
Obscure glass patterns — Standard Obscure, Etch Matte, Glue Chip, Rain, Delta Frost, Reed, and Flemish for bathrooms and privacy areas
Grid styles — 5/8" Flat, 5/8" Sculptured, and 1" Sculptured in Colonial, Perimeter, or Queen Anne patterns
Frame profiles — Block, Flush Fin, and Brickmould in narrow or traditional profiles for both new construction and retrofit applications

Warranty

What the Lifetime Warranty Covers

Manufacturer's Lifetime Warranty

Anlin backs every product with a lifetime warranty covering glass, frames, hardware, and labor — for the original owner and the home the windows were installed in.

Our Workmanship Guarantee

Tadek Construction separately guarantees the installation work itself. If something fails because of how it was installed, we fix it.

Built to the Exact Opening

Because every window is manufactured to your specific opening, a warranty replacement is built to the same specification — not substituted with the nearest stock size.

Frequently Asked Questions

Anlin Windows Questions Homeowners Ask

Catalina suits whole-home replacements where even sightlines and visual consistency matter. Panoramic is for rooms where the view is the point - narrow frame, maximum glass. Coronado is the ventilation series, with double hung, double slider, casement and awning styles plus bay, bow and garden windows. Most homes end up with a combination, and we bring samples so you can see the difference before deciding.

Yes. Every unit is manufactured to your exact opening in Anlin's California factory, which is why the lead time runs four to eight weeks rather than shipping from stock.

Anlin backs their products with a lifetime warranty, and we add our own workmanship guarantee on the installation itself. Because each window is built to your specific opening, a warranty replacement is manufactured to the same specification rather than substituted with the nearest stock size.

Infinit-E comes standard and is enough for most Bay Area exposures. SunMatrix Low-E is worth it on south and west walls where fading is a real risk. The Sound Package matters near freeways and flight paths. QuadraTherm suits higher-elevation homes in Orinda, Moraga and Los Gatos. We go through this room by room during the consultation.

We partner exclusively with Anlin because their products meet the quality and energy performance standards our clients expect, and because a single manufacturer means one warranty and one point of contact when something needs attention.
